Depression is melancholy minus its charms.
Susan Sontag
The Declaration of Independence, the United States Constitution, the constitutions of the several states, and the organic laws of the territories all alike propose to protect the people in the exercise of their God-given rights. Not one of them pretends to bestow rights.
Susan B. Anthony
Independence is happiness.
All variables are independent.
Thomas Pynchon
The love of independence and dislike of unjust treatment is the source of a thousand virtues.
William Godwin
Nature has never read the Declaration of Independence. It continues to make us unequal.
Will Durant
Nobody in the world is completely dependent on another person, but we are all interdependent.
Wangari Maathai
“I am unacquainted with a more deplorable spectacle than that of a people unable either to defend or to maintain its independence.”
Alexis de Tocqueville
“The complete independence of the courts of justice is peculiarly essential in a limited Constitution. By a limited Constitution, I understand one which contains certain specified exceptions to the legislative authority .... Limitations of this kind can be preserved in practice no other way than through the medium of courts of justice, whose duty it must be to declare all acts contrary to the manifest tenor of the Constitution void. Without this, all the reservations of particular rights or privileges would amount to nothing.”
Alexander Hamilton
“The first duty of the sovereign [is] that of protecting the society from the violence and invasion of other independent societies, [which] can be performed only by means of a military force”
Adam Smith
“Are you in earnest resolved never to barter your liberty for the lordly servitude of a court, but to live free, fearless, and independent? There seems to be one way to continue in that virtuous resolution; and perhaps but one. Never enter the place from whence so few have been able to return; never come within the circle of ambition; nor ever bring yourself into comparison with those masters of the earth who have already engrossed the attention of half mankind before you.”
“Be independent of the good opinion of other people.”
Abraham Maslow
"There must always be a struggle between a father and son, while one aims at power and the other at independence"
Samuel Johnson
"We're all going to die, all of us, what a circus! That alone should make us love each other but it doesn't. We are terrorized and flattened by trivialities, we are eaten up by nothing."
Charles Bukowski
"Mad, adj. Affected with a high degree of intellectual independence."
Ambrose Bierce
"If money is your hope for independence you will never have it. The only real security that a man will have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience, and ability."
Henry Ford
"The greatest gifts you can give your children are the roots of responsibility and the wings of independence."
Denis Waitley
